Explore the journey from a preliminary sketch to a finished oil painting. Working from a still life setup, you’ll learn practical strategies to simplify scenes and establish strong compositions, values, and shapes. Through sketchbook drawing, you’ll build solid foundational sketches that set the stage for quick and effective painting development. Each week, you’ll strengthen your drawing and painting skills as you create compelling oil paintings from start to finish.
